NEW CHARACTER
Orion
Orion is someone who struggles to find himself in a world that has taken everything he has, including his honor. His journey is that of someone who is broken and searching for his place in this world. His ultimate goal is to fight the past that is haunting him, but he doesn’t know if he can do it. Many things made the creature inside to come out and he didn’t know how to control them.
Crimson Energy makes the user immune to damage for a period of time and absorbs HP from their enemies.
“Orion has the talent Crimson Energy which allows him to issue a power to make him immune from damage for some time and absorb HP from enemies. In close combat, that energy gives Orion an advantage and more opportunities for action.”
Crimson Crush
EP will be replaced with 300 Crimson Energy. Consume 150 Crimson Energy to activate protection, where you cannot take damage or attack enemies and will absorb 15 HP from all enemies within 5 m. Lasts 3 sec. Cooldown: 3 seconds.
Coming soon!
CHARACTER AWAKENED
Alvaro
What a blast!
“As the only destroyer, Alvaro will get an increase in his grenade talent. Alvaro “Rageblast” can deal grenade damage to a wider area. If he doesn’t eliminate the enemy, his grenades will seriously affect the enemy team. Let’s witness the incredible explosion festival in Bermuda!”
Original Skill:
Art of Demolition
Explosive weapon damage increased 20%, attack range increased 10%
Awakening Skill:
Split Blitz
1 second before exploding, the grenade will generate 3 extra grenades, which will deal 30% of the DMG of the original.
Coming soon!
CHARACTER CHANGE
Xayne
Increased durability and removal of HP reduction.
“Xayne was made with the intention of melee attacks, but the reduction in his HP made him difficult for players to use when using skills. We hope that by making Xtreme Encounter easier to use and increasing its durability, you can understand its potential use.”
Xtreme Encounter
Xtreme Mode: Gain temporary 50 HP for 8 sec. During this time, the healing effect is increased by 75%. Cooldown: 75 sec.
Otho
Added enemy location tagging and reduced movement speed. Added new skill trigger – when player falls.
“We realized that Otho’s skill which is effective after eliminating enemies doesn’t have much application. In this patch, we are adding new scenarios for activating Memory Mist to diversify your battle strategy.”
Memory Mist
After taking down an enemy, tag enemies within 28m of the knocked down enemy and slow their movement by 25%. Lasts 4 sec. When dropped, tag and slow down all enemies that are close by.
Dasha
Increased rate of fire and movement speed after eliminating enemies.
“Before, Dasha’s skill had no obvious use. Dasha’s transformation now has increased movement speed and rate of fire after eliminating enemies. If he reaches a kill streak. skills will get additional again. Let’s see Dasha!”
Partying On
After eliminating enemies, enter Highlight mode. Rate of fire increased by 18% and movement speed increased by 12% but decreased quickly. Lasts 6 sec. During Highlight mode, taking down an enemy will repeat the countdown and increase rate of fire by 4% and movement speed by 3%.
Ford
New sailor! Recovers HP when taking damage.
“To reduce the attitude of deliberately being outside the Safe Zone, we change the skills that support this attitude. In this patch, we changed Ford’s ability to take zone damage but gave his skill a useful effect in various scenarios.”
Iron Will
When taken damage, recovers 10 HP/s for 35. Cooldown: 20sec. Ford’s skill will reset after using an active skill.
CHARACTER BALANCE CHANGES
Kenta
The result of training from a swordsman.
“Kenta’s changes in the previous patch brought about an increased win rate but it’s still not suitable for a swordsman. Let’s witness Kenta’s achievement to become the #1 swordsman in this patch!”
Swordsman’s Wrath
Forms a shield 5m wide which reduces 50 → 60% damage of weapons coming from the front. When shooting, the damage reduction is reduced by 10 → 20%. Lasts 5 sec. Cooldown: 70sec.
Alok
Less HP recovery.
“We realize that Alok is a very popular character but his skills provide too many advantages in many scenarios. In this version, we’re nerfing HP recovery to give Drop the Beat clearer skill directions.”
Drop the Beat
Generates 5m aura which can increase running speed by 15% and give 5 →3 HP for 10 seconds. Effects don’t stack. Cooldown: 50→ 45 sec.
BATTLE ROYALE
MISI IN-MATCH
Mission time!
“In the world of Free Fire, Kelly is getting tired from traveling long distances in the Battle Royale mode. She decided to introduce a new mission system. Kelly will start a certain event after completing the mission!”
– In-Match Missions will appear during matches. Players will start the event after completing the mission. All missions and events are random.
– Some matches will have a hidden mission, and the corresponding mission will start automatically after the mission is completed.
Mission type:

– Using a number of FF Coins at the Vending Machine.
– Collect enemy elimination under UAV.

– We added a Super Revival Card in the Vending Machine which costs 600 FF Coins. Use it to revive friends and they will get Armor Lv. 2 and UMP when it comes back on.
MAP
MAP CHANGES
Mill
“For Mill in Clash Squad mode, the win rates of the two teams have a high difference. The team that is closest to the yellow ladder takes longer than the other team to get to the top, so they can be an easy target when climbing the ladder. On the other hand, if a team decides to rush through the hill on the right, they will lose the advantage. So, we’ve made changes to the mill to ensure things are fair for both teams.”
Mill changes:
-Moved the yellow ladder to ensure a safer route.
– Eliminates the wheel which allows to jump onto the roof.
– Removed both cars and added boxes to lower profit while hiding.
– Added more hiding places downstairs and moving boxes for more varied routes.
– Added cardboard on the route from/to the hill to allow return to the starting location.
Pochinok
“Pochinok in Clash Squad mode also found a high difference in the win rate of the two teams. Teams that start further from the 2-floor warehouse will become easy targets when rushing towards the building. If the team decides to turn around or return to their starting position, they will also become easy targets and will lose their advantageous position. As the zone narrowed, they also had to meet enemy fire from the upper floors. Therefore, we are making changes to Pochinok to make it fairer.”
Pochinok’s changes:
– Added a hiding place in the empty area in the center, where the Safe Zone is usually smaller. This ensures fairer and safer moves for both teams when fighting.
– Bring buildings closer together to add new battle strategies.
MAP STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION
Guard Tower changes.
“The design of the Guard Tower makes it the perfect place to hide but difficult to escape. We have changed the structure for those issues.”
– The metal panels have been replaced with studs that allow you to shoot. This reduces the possibility of a surprise attack from the Guard Tower.
– Added indentation to the 3-sided steel panel. While standing, players can shoot or be shot. While crouching, players cannot shoot enemies, increasing the risk of pinpointing a location and reducing the advantage of hiding in a Guard Tower.
– Reduced the height of the Guard Tower to prevent damage from falling from the Guard Tower.
– Moved the kiosk to the end to facilitate navigation and ease of use.
OTHER MODES
PET SMASH
Pet Smash is coming soon!
